More thoughts on the Meaning of the Lord’s Supper by Calvin…


Let’s hear what Calvin said on the matter in 1559- 30 years after the colloquy-
The presence of Christ in the Supper we must hold to be such as neither affixes him to the element of bread, nor encloses him in bread, nor circumscribes him in any way (this would obviously detract from his celestial glory); and it must, moreover, be such as neither divests him of his just dimensions, nor dissevers him by differences of place, nor assigns to him a body of boundless dimensions, diffused through heaven and earth.
